Effectiveness of Reprocessing for Flexible Bronchoscopes and Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopes

Chest, 2018
Infections have been linked to inadequately reprocessed flexible bronchoscopes, and recent investigations determined that pathogen transmission occurred even when bronchoscope cleaning and disinfection practices aligned with current guidelines. This multisite, prospective study evaluated the effectiveness of real-world bronchoscope reprocessing methods,

Bronchoscopic Cryotherapy

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1981
Bronchoscopic cryotherapy of localized endobronchial tumors can be applied in selected patients who are not candidates for other traditional therapy. Twenty-eight patients were treated on 60 occasions with a closed liquid nitrogen system and a long insulated probe that was specifically designed to be used through an open ventilating bronchoscope.

Bronchoscopic features and bronchoscopic intervention for endobronchial hamartoma

Respirology, 2009
ABSTRACTBackground and objective:  Bronchoscopic resection of endobronchial hamartomas has been reported to have a favourable outcome. This study describes the bronchoscopic features of endobronchial hamartoma and reports the clinical outcome of bronchoscopic intervention.Methods:  A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients with histologically ...

Bronchoscopic brachytherapy

The Laryngoscope, 1989
AbstractIncreasing lung cancer mortality has created renewed interest in the bronchoscopic use of isotopes for palliation of recurrent airway carcinomas. In the first part of this paper we report our clinical experience with iodine‐125 implantation for treatment of endobronchial carcinomas in 18 patients followed until death.

The fiberoptic bronchoscope

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians, 1977
The fibertopic bronchoscope was used in 14 cases in the emergency department between September 1974 and September 1976 at Lock Haven Hospital, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania and St. Charles Hospital, Toledo, Ohio. It was used successfully to remove foreign bodies from the trachea and esophagus; in difficult or hazardous endotracheal intubation; intubation in

A Bronchoscope Sleeve

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1973
To the Editor.— When performing bronchoscopy with the patient under a general anesthetic, one source of annoyance is the fluctuating escape of gusts of anesthetic gases along the sides of the bronchoscope tube. Although this is mainly a problem for the anesthetist, the endoscopist also has to cope with it and is discomforted by it, especially if the ...

Reprocessing the Bronchoscope: The Challenges

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2004
Spread of infection through the flexible bronchoscope is underrecognized and underreported. Prevention of bronchoscopy-induced infection requires increased vigilance by the physician, assiduous implementation of reprocessing protocols, and closer collaboration between bronchoscopy personnel, infection control practitioners, and instrument manufacturers.

Frontiers in bronchoscopic imaging

Respirology, 2012
ABSTRACTBronchoscopy is a minimally invasive method for diagnosis of diseases of the airways and the lung parenchyma. Standard bronchoscopy uses the reflectance/scattering properties of white light from tissue to examine the macroscopic appearance of airways. It does not exploit the full spectrum of the optical properties of bronchial tissues. Advances

Bronchoscopic treatments for emphysema

Revue des Maladies Respiratoires, 2011
In late stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema can worsen respiratory symptoms, not only via the loss of surface for gas exchange, but also via alterations in mechanical properties of the respiratory system (dynamic and static hyperinflation). Emphysematous lung volume reduction aims at improving respiratory mechanics and symptomatology
